First Sprint, max speed - 13.4 seconds
Good to get back out to the hill again now that the weather and my schedule have relaxed a bit. I really enjoy the 20 minute walk to and from my hill as a combination warm-up/cool-down/empty-my-mind time, plus some days I really push the pace and it doubles as additional steady-state.
The hill is also really soft right now from the accumulated moisture of the winter, but not too muddy either. When I started walking in the weighted vest, there was still plenty of ice and snow on the sidewalks, plus it was cold, so I was using my winter boots. Then as the ice retreated but it was still cold I kept using them just on the concrete. All that has combined to have my feet getting a bit achy the last week or two. Getting out on the soft hill in running shoes almost felt therapeutic by contrast.
I went as hard as I could on my first sprint and timed it to start getting a base-line to set my progression for the next phase by. So if I'm reading the program right, for the next phase I should be looking at:
| HIIT | Hills | 13.4 | |
| 2XWeek | Reps | Speed | |
| Week 1 | 10 | 17.9 | |
| Week 2 | 10 | 15.8 | |
| Week 3 | 12 | 15.8 | |
| Week 4 | 15 | 16.8 | |
| Week 5 | 15 | 15.8 | |
| Week 6 | 15 | 14.9 | > |
